Coin of Arcadius, Cyzicus c. 392 - 395

Editor: So, we have a glimpse into the past here with this Coin of Arcadius from Cyzicus. The copper is worn, but still tells a story. What do you see when you look at something like this? Curator: Well, I see time, mostly. I imagine the hands it passed through, the pockets it jingled in. It's like holding a whisper from the late Roman Empire. What stories it could tell, eh? Editor: Definitely! It makes you wonder about the daily life of people back then. What was important? Curator: Exactly! Perhaps this little piece of metal bought someone's bread for the day, or paid a tax. It's a tangible link to a world so different, yet undeniably human. It makes you think. Editor: Absolutely, I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.
